US hits sites in Syria as Gaza aid 'barely trickles in

 

World War Three in the making or Just Another Day in the Middle East ??? :cry:

 

More like Russia diverting attention away from Ukraine IF they supplied arms to Hamas before this attack.

but usa is against creating palestinian country , they are just good to kill 

Officially the US is for the two state solution.

I think Hamas is/should be against it. Palestinians used to be in favor for it, but now they seem to lean against it. The younger the palestinians get, the more they are against it, which might indicate that Hamas indoctrinated them to be against it.

With Israelis it is pretty much the same, they used to be in favor of it, but not so much anymore. Arab Israelis are more in favor of it than jewish israelis.

Iran doesn't want a two state solution, but apparently they used to not be against it.

Qatar on the other hand seems to be in favor of it.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/9/2/two-state-solution-needed-for-palestine-qatar-emir-tells-kushner

 

Other arab countries also seem to be in favor of it.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/11/arab-ministers-urge-israel-to-resume-talks-on-two-state-solution

 

China and Russia also seem to be in favor of a two-state solution.

https://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/china-sends-envoy-middle-east-sign-ambition-play-104168797

 

Turkey also seems to be in favor of a two state solution. Turkey is in a very interesting situation, considering that they support a two-state solution for Cyprus but don't want the Kurds to have their own state.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkey-talks-with-hamas-hostages-nothing-concrete-now-state-media-2023-10-18/

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-turkey-kurds-idUSKBN0P70QB20150627

 

So (at least) officially Iran (and therefore Hamas as well) seems to be the only player that is strongly against a two-state solution.

 

Here is how people in Europe and the US think about the current conflict:

I think one reason why Israel didn't (strongly) support Ukraine was that they needed russian "permission" to bomb targets in Syria. Will be interesting to see how the Israel-Russia relationship develops after Russia sided with Hamas.

    • The story of  boxer Dmitrijs Avsijenkovs and his incredible 100%, 29 fight knockout record.    Unfortunately.....   Boxer who was knocked out 29 times in 29 fights finally gave up on his disastrous career
    • apparently our NOC rejected the winter sport federation request to send a bigger delegation.   they published a list of just 14 athletes. 8 in CC skiing, 2 in Alpine and 4 in SkiMo. equal number of male and female athletes in each sport.
    • Yeah, I'm not entirely opposed of different host cities, but 24 hours of sports is not a good idea. Keep it to the 16-18 hour days.
